xChocobars reveals terrifying experiences that made her stop IRL Twitch streaming forever Twitch: xchocobarsTwitch streamer xChocobars revealed the frightening experiences she\u2019s had that put her off of IRL broadcasts for good, saying the thought of doing so is \u201cso scary.\u201d Twitch is a haven for all manner of live-streamed content. Although many popular streamers on the platform are known for broadcasting their favorite games from home, plenty of users also show off their travels abroad in real time. These streams are called \u2018IRL\u2019 (in real life) broadcasts, and tend to garner quite a few interested viewers who want to take part in their favorite influencers\u2019 vacations by proxy. Despite the popularity of these kinds of streams, popular influencer Janet \u2018xChocobars\u2019 Rose isn\u2019t interested in taking part in the trend due to some scary experiences she\u2019s had in her life. The streamer opened up about the subject during a recent game of Among Us with friends where she revealed that she was nearly kidnapped as a child after a strange woman tried to pick her up from daycare. xChocobars says stalking and harassment has discouraged her from IRL streaming \u201cFor me, I feel like I have gotten really unlucky with people I come across,\u201d she explained. \u201cI could just be walking here in LA and I\u2019ve had a car slow down next to me under a bridge. It was really scary. I started running out of the bridge. It was [a] bright day. They rolled up in their car and they were slowing down, too.\u201d \u201cWhen I was younger, I had a lady come to my daycare and claim that she was my mother and try to pick me up from daycare,\u201d she continued. \u201cI don\u2019t know who that lady was. You guys have no idea the sh*t I\u2019ve been through growing up. I think I\u2019ve just gotten really unlucky.\u201d That\u2019s not all; Janet also said that she\u2019s been stalked and harassed throughout her career as a streamer, recounting a time when a random man was shouting her name in a Las Vegas CVS when she was nowhere near the city. \u201cI had this one stalker that was in Vegas at a CVS or something screaming my name, like \u2018Janet Rose, where are you?\u2019 or something, even though I don\u2019t live in Vegas. And what was creepy was, I had a friend who lived in Vegas and she DM\u2019d me like, \u2018This guy is going crazy in the CVS just screaming your name.’\u201d (Topic begins at 1:55) Chocobars is far from the first female streamer to open up about her experiences of being stalked and harassed after reaching Twitch fame. Many other women on the platform have relayed similar stories, with streamers like Amouranth notably getting harassed by a stalker who flew all the way from Estonia to her home in Texas and even camped out by her PO box for a month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
